This week’s question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Michele.
Hi David!
How do you deal with hate email? I recently received an email from someone “DEMANDING” to be taken off my list. I didn’t put her on there, she opted in…and yet, her email was incredibly angry and on the verge of “abusive”.
My first reaction was that my fear of judgment kicked in and I felt horrible — and then had a physical response! Thankfully I was able to get past it and back on track, but how do you deal with these intense, paralyzing fears?
Great question!
The only way to “deal” with fear is to shine a light on it so that you can see that it’s a lie and then continue onward in spite of the feelings.
I know you’ve heard me say this before, but Spirit does not speak to you through fear, so anytime you feel that fear and hear those fearful voices in your head, you must stop and ask yourself whose voices those are.
Let’s go back to TRUTH. (My favorite place)
Fear is simply your ego’s way of stopping you from growing. And the fear was given to you by someone else, usually a parent or someone who had a significant role in your life.
The next time you feel fear, try identifying whose voice is talking to you because it will not be God’s.
So let’s go back to the first question you asked: How do you deal with hate mail?
My answer is that you don’t. You must understand that hate mail has everything to do with the person sending it and nothing to do with you.
You aren’t responsible for someone else’s thoughts, feelings and emotions; you are only responsible for your OWN.
Kudos to you for recognizing that it triggered your fear of judgment. If you focus your attention on why you have a fear of judgment in the first place, and let the hate mail go, the truth will set you free.
And always remember:
There is no growth without discomfort and it sounds like you’re GROWING!!!
